1. The problem was that Sheila's lunch bag magically had a different lunch when she would take out her food at lunch time.
2. The solution was that Sheila and Beatrice mixed up their lunch bags every day at lunch because they had the same exact lunch bag.
3. The evidence that supports my solution is that when Sheila and Beatrice were at lunch one day they both explained they had magical lunch bags and what they got for lunch was different from what they had been packed. They then realized that they had mixed up their lunch bags every day.

1- The main problem was that Sheila thought her lunch bag was magic because every time she got a tuna sandwich before lunch, it changed when lunch started.

2-The solution happened when Beatrice said that her lunch bag was magic just like Sheila's they figured out that they got there lunch bags mixed up, that is why they got different lunches.

3-The evidence is that Sheila was supposed to get a tuna sandwich but she got leftovers and Beatrice got a tuna sandwich so that proves that they got there lunches mixed up.

1. Sheila's mom packs her tuna fish sandwiches in her lunch box every day.Also, she has been saving up her allowance for a new lunch bag, and she thought that she would get a new meal/lunch, but it ends up being no new lunch.So, Sheila was upset, and confused.
2. One day, Shelia looked in her lunch bag in the morning,and when she open it up in time for lunch it was a bran-new lunch.In my opinion, I believe that she was very happy,and excited, but at the same time, I think she feels confused, and mysterious about it.Also, she figured out that she had been eating out of the same lunch box as another girl in her school had.

3. At the end, Sheila heard a girl say, "I have a magic lunch bag too"! Sheila looked over, and saw that Beatrice had the same lunch bag as Sheila. Sheila asked if she had a "golden" star on her lunch bag? She said,"yes!" Beatrice said she had a tuna sandwich in her lunch bag as a surprise and Sheila giggled and said, "We must have swapped lunch bags." As you see that is the evidence to my solution.

2.(S.) The solution to the problem is that Sheila yells in the lunch room "Hey everybody I have a magic lunch bag!!" After that Beatrice a different girl says "Your not the only one with a magic lunch bag, I have one to!"
3.(E.) "Really let me see! Our bags look exactly the same!" Said Sheila. "My dad normally packs leftovers for my lunch but I have been finding what I actually want for lunch in my bag."

1. The main problem in the story is that Sheila normally gets a tuna-fish sandwich but then she got a different lunch each day.

2. The solution to the problem was when Sheila announced that her lunch bag was magic, Beatrice said that you are not the only one with a magic lunch bag. The whole time they were picking up the wrong lunch bag.

3. The evidence from the text was their lunch bags were exactly alike. Beatrice said everyday my dad packs leftovers but at lunch time, I find a tuna fish sandwich. Sheila gets every day a tuna-fish sandwich. The whole time they were switching lunches and they continue to switch lunches every day. They became friends.

1-The main problem is that Sheila keeps getting the wrong lunch box but an completely identical one with different lunch.

2-The solution was that Beatrice and Sheila figured out that they had identical lunch boxes and that they were getting both the wrong lunch boxes.

3- The clues were that Sheila and Beatrice had identical lunch boxes also they both ate different things so it caused them to get different things than each other so they got different foods than they packed for lunch.

1. The main problem in the story is that every morning when Sheila looks inside her lunch bag she finds a tuna fish sandwich but when she looks inside her lunch bag at lunchtime,she finds a different lunch.
2. The answer to the mystery was that Sheila was accidently switching lunch bags with Beatrice, her new best friend ,at lunchtime.
3. The evidence of the story is that Sheila and Beatrice had similar lunch bags with the same color and design and the bags were kept in the same spot in the classroom. Also, when Beatrice opened her lunch bag, she found a tuna fish sandwich.

2) Describe the solution to the problem.
The solution was Beatrice said "your not the only one who has a magic lunch bag. I bring leftovers in the morning and now I have tuna fish sandwich my favorite mmmmmmmmmm." As she explained what it looked like Sheila saw they were the same!They were mixing up the lunch bags.

3)What evidence from the text supports the solution?
Same clues would be that Beatrice described her lunch bag and Sheila saw they were the same! Beatrice said that her dad packs her leftovers Sheila said her mom packs her tuna fish sandwiches and now they have each others lunches. Now you see they mixed up there lunch bags.
